[QUOTE="bodhi, post: 3668626, member: 19770"] When and how was the NPC's imp status revealed? I agree with Bayushi Seikuro that sounds like an attempt to avoid consequences. It's a pretty fine line between "I didn't make the deal" and "I didn't raise any objections when my friends made the deal". You said the paladin attacked the imp after the fight. Was the sequence of events: A) Fight ends. Imp is revealed. Paladin finds out the ally is an imp, which he attacks and kills. or B) Imp is revealed sometime prior to the fight, but the paladin decides to keep his mouth shut until the party fulfills their objectives, whereupon he attacks and kills the imp. Situation A, IMHO, is fine, if perhaps a bit abrupt. "I've been deceived by a fiend! Have at thee!", and then maybe a dream telling him he should be more careful who he works with. Situation B strikes me as someone turning a blind eye when it's in their favor, and being the good guy when that's in their favor. Which is someone you trust to do what's right [i]for themselves[/i]. Which, for a [i]paladin[/i], is problematic. [/QUOTE]
